Yankees Still Could Sign Superstar Pitcher According To Insider
The New York Yankees could use another hurler in the rotation.
Spring Training is quickly approaching and there still are some very intriguing free agents available. One of the biggest stars still available is two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell.
Snell has been linked to the Yankees on multiple occasions but hasn't gotten a deal done at this point. New York offered Snell a deal earlier in the offseason but has since taken it off the table.
While this is the case, New York still could end up being an option for the superstar, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
"The (Los Angeles Angels) are staying in touch on Blake Snell (and Jordan Montgomery and Cody Bellinger)," Heyman said. "They like Snell, but team owner Arte Moreno hasn’t given the go-ahead. The Yankees suggested they were out once Snell declined their initial offer. But they still have rotation questions."
While this doesn't necessarily mean a deal will get done, it's interesting that Heyman continues to mention New York with Snell. There's a possibility that his asking price goes down as Spring Training approaches and then the Yankees could possibly swoop in.
If the Yankees could end up landing Snell, they arguably would have the best one-two punch in baseball with Gerrit Cole. A deal still should be considered unlikely, but it's a possibility.
New York clearly is going all in on the 2024 campaign after landing Juan Soto. Why not add one more star to the mix?
